I feel bad for dude but, he can still have a career just not like it was suppose to be.
Remember in the National Championship game when it was Miami vs. Ohio State and Willis McGahee got hit in the leg and it bent back like Lattimore's.
Willis made it to the NFL and has had a pretty good career, Lattimore can still make it it will be hard. -

Yeah he can do it. Gotta dig deep but with his work ethic and drive it is possible. He needs to rehab next year and just enter the 2014 draft. He could redshirt next year and come back for 2014 but I don't think that would be in his best interest. -
Hope he recovers fully.
Seeing that made me cringe like seeing Johnny Knox's back injury. -
Terrible injury. One of the worst ever.
Sad to see him crying/weeping with the towel over his head too. I can only imagine what was going through his head, knowing his career is probably over.
I don't think he's ever coming back from that. -
South Carolina Press Release on Lattimore "The hyperextension of the knee resulted in injury to several ligaments. There were no fractures or additional injuries"
Lattimore is resting comfortably and will continue to be evaluated over the course of the week.
"He already begun the process of prehabilitation prior to surgery and to his eventual return to football."
-
That's car accident caliber.

*Puts money in collection plate for Todd Gurley's knees*
Even though I hated lattimore for 3 years I hope he can recover from this and have a successful NFL career -
mofos are hopeful in here I see
his career is done unfortunately
hopefully he will at least be able to walk normally..............but as far as football he's done -

I read yesterday he had ACL/MCL/PCL/LCL tears... and a broken fibula and knee cap! -
That look on his face tho. It was like someone opening up a back taxes letter from the IRS
-
Damn..the Knee collector strikes again.
-
I'm just impressed how composed cuzzo looked when they carted him off the field
I mean he pretty much almost lost his leg on live tv
and only shed a few tears
he had to be in a lot of pain -

That's the thing though Willis had no prior serious or nagging injury problems before that...which is probably one of the reasons he had a smooth recovery......but its a toss up for lattimore, but he has advanced medicine on his side and a killer work ethic so hope is there... -

I'm glad my man Latt isn't in as bad of condition as we thought. He was cutting it up yesterday too.

When i see stuff like this is why I think I wouldnt mind seeing all players wear knee braces
-
ESPN said there were no breaks or fractures. They're calling it a hyper extension & he tore the ligaments. In essence it's Willis Mcgahee all over again even though it looked worse. After an extensive rehab ? should be able to come back.
-
It's just a dislocated knee. That's bad, but it could have been worse.
The question is what should he do now. He can probably bounce back from the injury. If he wants to go as high in the draft as he possibly can, he'll need to play another season to show that he's past the injury. However, with his luck in college and the injuries he's already sustained, he should probably just take his chances and get some guaranteed money. -

Because they would run a lot slower, have less agility, not jump as high.

all it would take is one player NOT to wear it, and then everyone else would have to adapt.
